"Hello Nico."
No no no no! Not this please no no no! She can't be here!
"It's me, Persephone, your step-mom."
I know. (An: Italics are Nico's signs)
"Why wont you speak sweetie?"
Don't call me sweetie Persephone. You will never replace them.
"What? Your old family? You don't need them. They left you!"
She stepped towards him and raised her hand.
Stop! Please!
Persephone laughed, then slapped him.
Leave me alone!
"Why? You killed them Nico! YOU'RE FAULT!"
NO! It wasn't! Please leave me alone!
"No. You sir, are comming home with me."
No.
"Yes."
No.
"Yes."
No.
"Yes."
No.
"Yes."
No.
"YES!"
Nico cowered against the wall, as far away from his step-mother as possible.
'Get her out of there!'
Leave me alone Persephone! Just let me stay here and talk to my friend!
"Friend? What friend? Oh wait, one that you've made up from your head because you're DELUSIONAL! It's probably your sister isn't it. Well, news flash Nico. SHE'S DEAD, SO IS YOUR MOTHER AND YOUR FATHER WENT MISSING IN ACTION!"
"I AM NOT DELUSIONAL!"
Persephone backed away in shock, staring at Nico.
"You... you speak?"
"I can if I want to. Occasionally."
She stalked towards him again and slapped him. He barely moved and shook it off.
"This friend, is she another loonie?"
"No. He's not."
"Then who is he?"
"Leo. Leo Valdez."
-------------------
Dun dun dun! What is the connection between Persephone and Leo?
Sayonara demigods!
